"Learning is the future of education."
That is the first line from and excellent post by Jen on the @ingenuity blog. Please take a moment to read the post.
Web 2.0 is Not the Future of Education
This is my comment:
“Learning is the future of education.” So simple, so direct, so accurate, and so right on. We can all learn. It doesn’t take a computer, Web 2.0, or any other “technology” for people to learn. People learn all over the world without these technologies. Now, while I am a huge proponent of technology and feel we are obligated to prepare our students for a world infused with technology, lack of technology does not, and should not prevent learning.
My students have been fortunate to experience artists, dancers, actors, musicians, etc; all of whom taught them amazing things without technology. P.E and sports coaches have engaged, inspired, and taught my students much.
A great story told by a grandmother visiting a classroom is just as engaging as some Web 2.0 gizmo. Both are valuable and both should be embraced.
The point is the “learning.” You said it best. “Learning is the future of education.” Amen.
